Manchester United have announced the appointment of Omar Berrada from local rivals Manchester City as their new chief executive. Berrada is set to succeed Richard Arnold, who left the club at the end of last year. The move comes following Berrada’s significant contributions to City’s recent success on and off the field. The news of his departure was confirmed by Manchester City, with the club expressing their gratitude and well wishes to Berrada. Despite City’s disappointment at losing him, they maintain confidence in their own management structure, seeing Berrada’s move to United as a compliment. Berrada’s appointment marks one of the first major moves since British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his firm INEOS agreed to purchase a 25% stake in the club. Patrick Stewart has been serving as United’s interim chief executive since Arnold’s departure. With 20 years of senior-level experience in football, Berrada brings expertise in club business management, football operations, and player transactions. He is also well-versed in international affairs, having lived in multiple countries and being fluent in four languages. Previously, Berrada held positions at Barcelona and has represented Manchester City in various governing roles. Manchester United fans will be hopeful that his appointment can help lead the club to future success both on and off the pitch.
